College will read censored script

ITHACA - Submitted for your approval, finally.

More than a half-century after it was twice censored by network television, Rod Serling's story on the notorious 1955 lynching of Emmett Till and his message about prejudice will finally be told the way Serling wanted.

The original stage script of Serling's “Noon on Doomsday” will be read Saturday at Ithaca College during a conference on “The Life and Legacy of Rod Serling.” The award-winning writer and creator of “The Twilight Zone” taught at Ithaca from 1967 until 1975, when he died.
